"Rivolgete a lui lo sguardo", K. 584, is a concert aria by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for solo bass and orchestra conceived for the role of Guglielmo the opera Così fan tutte but replaced by "Non siate ritrosi".
He lists how he and his fellow "Albanian" Ferrando possess qualities such as dancing, singing and impressive physical characteristics, and how they are both without equal from Canada to Vienna.
In what Ian Woodfield calls a "drastic step", the aria was replaced for dramatic reasons by the more lightweight brevity of "Non siate retrosi".
[5][4] However, "Rivolgete a lui lo sguardo" remains a popular and often performed concert piece today, and is sometimes included in full productions of the opera.
Un Orlando innamorato Non è niente in mio confronte; Un Medoro il sen piagato Verso lui per nulla io conto:
If we dance, Le Picq bows to our refined narrow feet, If we sing with a simple trill It outshines the nightingale, Our physical bodies Are beyond compare.
